Dave,
I did a lot of driving today and I'm pretty tired.
I believe the desired goal is to display the refid field in 2 forms:
- the "string" form in the case of a refclock
- a non-IPv4 format otherwise
The last time I talked to you I recall you said you wanted to keep the IPv4
format because it helped you understand exactly what machine was being
referenced.
This topic is being discussed at:
http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Dev/UpdatingTheRefidFormat
and I believe the issue is now more complicated because we can now specify
an arbitrary stratum for a refclock, which means we can no longer use the
stratum as the means to decide if a refid is the name of a refclock or not.
It should be pretty easy to stop doing DNS lookups on the refid.
It may be more Interesting to do more, as I am no longer sure we can
cleanly decide when a refid refers to a refclock or not.
